When is a shuffle not a shuffle?
If recently released surveillance footage is to be believed, the answer can be seen in a clip from a Houston-area cardroom.
Watch the action in question in the video above now.
As our own Sarah Herring shows in the latest edition of the PokerOrg Showdown, cameras appeared to catch a dealer false-shuffling and using a false cut as he readies the deck for the next hand.
How the footage found its way to the public has not been confirmed, and the cardroom in question has asked that their logo and the faces of their patrons not be shared.
The online poker community is filled with amateur sleuths, who have been examining the video and the dealer's — let's face it — pretty slap-dash attempt to manipulate the deck.
So here it is: What do you think? Ever seen a worse attempt at shuffling a deck of cards?
(And if you need some help, here's a quick tip: watch his hands.)
